Best Western is launching a new Fall promotion that’s quite a bit simpler than usual: earn double base points on all stays worldwide between September 3rd and November 18th.
What are Best Western points worth?
The Deal
- Best Western is launching a new Fall promo that gives double points on eligible stays worldwide.
- Enrollment required.
- Valid for stays completed between September 3, 2024 and November 18, 2024.
Key Terms
- Best Western Rewards members who register for this promotion on bestwestern.com/globaldoublepoints and complete a qualified stay* between September 3, 2024 and November 18, 2024 at any Best Western branded hotel globally, will earn Double Points** for completion of the qualified stay.
- There is no limit to the number of Double Points a Rewards Member can earn during the Promotion Period.
- Rewards Members’ earning preference must be set to BWR points (“Points”). Promotion registration and BWR enrollment/membership is required prior to the first qualified stay.
- * A “qualified stay” for the purpose of this promotion is defined as a stay of at least one night at any Best Western branded hotel, at a rate eligible for earning Points, with the exception of a stay booked through an online travel agency, booked through a tour operator, or booked at a special discounted rate (see BWR program rules for further information on qualifying criteria).
- ** “Double Points” for the purpose of this promotion means you will earn a bonus equal to the base Points earned during your stay.
Quick Thoughts
Best Western is launching registration for this promo now, but it doesn’t actually start until September 3rd, the day after the Summer promo expires.
The promotion doubles base points only, not elite bonuses, effectively meaning that all members will earn an extra 10x points per dollar. We value Best Western points at 0.61 cents each, so this promo adds another ~6% back to what you would already earn on a stay.
In order to earn double points, you have to complete the stay (ie, check-out) between September 3rd and November 18th. Unlike most Best Western promos, there’s not a limited booking window that’s different from the stay window. As long as you register beforehand and stay during the specified dates, you get the points.
This promo is only valid on paid stays, so be sure to click through from a shopping portal – you can find the current rates here and here. Also check Capital One Shopping as they sometimes offer generous cashback rates on a targeted basis.

Do these BW offers also apply to Worldhotels bookings? I always see separate offers for them. Not sure how the two work together.
FYI, consider updating your credit card offers page. It appears the Best Western credit card issued by FNBO bank is no longer available for new applicants and the credit card link that previously could be found at the bottom of the Best Western home page has been eliminated.
Thanks for the heads up. Changed it to “not currently accepting new applicants.”
You’re welcome. Fingers crossed that another issuer is on the horizon with a great new sign up bonus offer.
